• GRID is about managing and providing compute resources which are geographically separated

• ESRF UPGRADE GRID project

• • evaluate the GRID for photon science applications
  • 18 months starting in July 2008
  • 4 people to install and gridify applications
  • A small grid of 48 cpu's
  • 10 terabytes of storage

• We are looking for a spectacular application to GRIDify e.g. ImageD11 / Grainsweeper ?
